#37: The Illusion Behind Sean Connery’s James Bond

Sean Connery’s portrayal of James Bond is legendary, but he amusingly noted a dissimilarity: unlike Bond, he can’t solve every problem. Surprisingly, Connery wore a toupee for all his action-packed scenes, a well-kept secret until recently.

Since his first appearance as Bond in 1962’s Dr. No, Connery concealed his balding with a toupee. The costume department’s expertise was so convincing that this fact remained unnoticed for decades, fooling generations of fans.
